Talthonei Ashwhisper Locations in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

As a mythic raider and gaming guide writer with over 15 years playing WoW, I‘m here to walk you through everything you need to know about locating Talthonei Ashwhisper in the Dragonflight expansion. Tracking down this rare spawn can reward some fantastic loot, but it takes knowledge of their various spawn points and some helpful strategies to successfully hunt them down.

In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll cover where to find all of Talthonei‘s potential spawn locations, maps and tips to pinpoint them, what to expect from the lengthy battle, and valuable rewards you can obtain like the Spitebound Drake mount. Let‘s dive in!

Who is Talthonei Ashwhisper?

Talthonei Ashwhisper is a member of the hostile Black Dragonflight added back in the Dragonflight 10.0.5 update. They are a rare elite enemy with approximately 15.5 million health at max level 60. Defeating Talthonei is no easy feat, but veterans of the game will find this foe manageable with the right preparation.

As a rare spawn, Talthonei is not always active in the world. You‘ll have to check across multiple waypoints where they potentially pop up. With substantial health and devastating shadow-based attacks, you‘ll want to make sure you‘re geared and ready to take them on.

But the rewards are well worth it. Talthonei has a chance to drop the brilliant Spitebound Drake mount, pets, toys like the Scale of Neltharion, and transmog gear. For mount collectors, pet battlers, and transmog fans, camping Talthonei can pay off nicely.

Locations Overview – Where to Find Talthonei

Talthonei Ashwhisper has a total of 5 known spawn locations spread across 2 zones – Fields of Reverie and Primalist Stronghold. Their spawn points seem completely random – you just have to get familiar with each one. Here‘s a quick overview of the locations:

I‘ll now go through each spawn point in more detail, including tips, nearby landmarks, and screenshots to make Talthonei hunting easier.

As you can see, Talthonei keeps to key areas but with multiple options across each zone. Having these maps handy as reference makes hunting them much easier.

Spawn Timer and Respawns

Exactly how often Talthonei respawns is still being researched, but current data from the WoW community suggests:

Spawn timer between 12-36 hours
Respawns randomly at one of the 5 points
Higher chance to spawn during peak playing hours

If you find a location already killed, your best bet is to wait it out nearby for the next respawn. Having addons that alert for rare spawns can help catch that coveted respawn too. Otherwise, keep checking back periodically across all spawn areas.

Loot Reward Drops from Talthonei

Here‘s a look at the exciting loot drops players can obtain from Talthonei Ashwhisper:

Spitebound Drake Mount – Approximately 5% droprate

Battle Pets – Vicious Salamander (24% droprate), Wriggling Shadow (20% droprate)

Transmog Armor – Dragonscale armor set pieces between 10-20% droprate

Consumables – Elixir of Dire Might, Phial of Tazavesh Tincture, etc around 10% droprate

As you can see, the mount has a low chance, but with enough farming, it will eventually drop! The other rewards are solid consolation prizes as you hunt for the elusive Spitebound Drake.
